| Strain ID | MT373 |
| Strain Name | hiohgi^j102-5B |
| Strain Type | Mutants |
| Symbol | hio^j102-5B |
| Characteristics | In medaka hiohgi (hio) embryos, the liver does not appear until st. 29 and is small and malformed. In addition to this liver defect, hio mutant embryos lack pectoral fins and die after hatching. Positional cloning revealed that the hio mutation affects the raldh2 gene encoding retinaldehyde dehydrogenase type2 (RALDH2), the enzyme principally responsible for retinoic acid (RA) iosynthesis. |
